Mumbai and New Delhi are perhaps the most well-known Indian cities all across the globe. The former is known for industrial set ups while the latter one is the administrative capital of the country. Owing to their significance, both these places are well connected with other parts of India as well as the world. Recently, Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) surpassed Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai in terms of passenger traffic, becoming the busiest in India.
A significant number of corporate travellers from the financial capital visit the national capital for work; hence, the demand for Mumbai to Delhi flights is quite high. On the other hand, Delhi serves as one of the transport hubs to most of the northern destinations, such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Kashmir. These are the reasons that almost all the carriers, operating in India, offer their services on this route. Be it low-cost carriers (LCC) or full-fledged airlines, all of them operate one or numerous Delhi to Mumbai flights and vice-versa. If you are looking forward to book flights to Delhi from Mumbai, check out the following options.
Low-cost Carriers
The aerial distance between the destinations is approximately 1100 km, which is covered by the majority of flights in around two hours. As mentioned earlier, a large number of people travel on this route on a regular basis; hence, most of the services are non-stop. The largest LCC operating in the country – IndiGo – alone offers around 14 such services every day. So, when planning your travel at any time of the day, you can check reservations with the carrier. Its first aircraft leaves as early as 6:20 am in the morning, while the latest one is run at 2:00 am. Both these options are ideal in case you are looking forward to complete your work and return on the same day.
However, if your day starts a little late, you can go for the departures, scheduled to depart from BOM at 10:50 am or 12:40 pm. Similarly, flights at 7:40 pm and 10:15 pm can be booked in case you are willing to work for the entire day and then leave. The second largest LCC, SpiceJet, is not behind in the race. However, it is far behind IndiGo as far as the frequency of services is concerned.
Full-fledged Carriers
In this category, the national carrier – Air India – offers the most (21) Mumbai to Delhi flights. It offers 11 non-stop, and around 10 connecting ones on this route with one stopover. The schedule of these services is often designed, keeping in mind the nature of travellers. Hence, most of them either depart early in the morning or late in the evening, allowing flyers to reach their respective destinations during usual office timings. Depending on the nature of your work, you can either book tickets for the Air India services, available at 7:00 am or 9:30 pm. It is worth mentioning that these are available at other times of the day as well. Jet Airways is the another full-fledged service provider between these cities with 14 non-stop departures. Even the recently launched Vistara offers four direct services on this route. You can make air ticket booking with any of these carriers to enjoy a hassle-free journey to Delhi.
